Hi, everyone my parents found this site for me after struggling a little bit harder lately than usual.. Like everyone has said, I am pretty devastated to need to be here but I am extremely grateful/thankful that this is an option. I hope everyone is having a good night

Hi Meganificent,

I love your user name! Welcome to AfterSilence. I am sorry you have reasons for joining, but you have found a wonderful site. This community is filled with many understanding and kind members. You will find much support and validation here. What happened to you was wrong and undeserved. 

I am very glad that you have such supportive parents. Everyone deserves people in their lives that want the best for them and sometimes it is not always the case. I am glad you have parents that care so much. Now you have a community that cares too!

Feel free to look around and interact where and when you are comfortable. It is a big step to reach out to others. I wish you many more steps forward as you move down this path we call healing. 

Mary

Hello, @Meganificent - welcome to the community!

I echo everyone's sentiments and applaud your parents for being supportive and for playing a very active role in your healing journey!  That's truly wonderful.  You're very lucky!

I also agree with you - it's sad to have to be here, but it truly does take a village.  We are glad you're here, and hope that being here among others who understand your struggles will bring you peace and comfort.

Best wishes,

@Meganificent welcome to After Silence! I am Wanna

I am sincerely sorry for your trauma, and for the extra struggle right now. It is all okay to not be okay at times, the important thing is to reach out for help. That might not come easy all times, why I am glad you decided to give this platform a shot.  

This is a safe place to share and relate, as well exchange advise and support. You can share whatever you'd like here, and come and go as you please. Aside from talking about our trauma and healing, we talk about every day life and anything that comes to our minds. I hope you'll find what you need in this platform. We believe you. Please know that none of what happened is your fault. 

Wishing you the very best, and hope to see you around 

- Wanna ☀️

Thank you, everyone, so so much for the love, kindness, and support you've already been showing I am sorry you're all here as well but I can already tell I will get a lot of healing from the site and all you members I have already been a little overwhelmed just by starting on here but I am feeling more comfortable with time and seeing how welcoming it is.
